Koa Coffee Plantation
Koa Coffee Plantation is a renowned coffee farm located in the Kona District on the Big Island of Hawaii. Established in 1997, Koa Coffee Plantation has gained a reputation for producing high-quality Kona coffee, which is considered one of the best coffees in the world.
History[edit | edit source]
Koa Coffee Plantation was founded by Tom Greenwell, a third-generation coffee farmer. The plantation started with a small plot of land and has since expanded to cover several acres. The farm is situated on the slopes of Mauna Loa, where the rich volcanic soil and ideal climate conditions contribute to the unique flavor profile of Kona coffee.
Cultivation and Production[edit | edit source]
The plantation practices sustainable farming methods to ensure the health of the environment and the quality of the coffee. The coffee trees are grown under the shade of native Hawaiian trees, which helps to maintain soil moisture and provide a habitat for local wildlife.
The coffee cherries are hand-picked at peak ripeness to ensure the highest quality beans. After harvesting, the cherries undergo a meticulous process of pulping, fermenting, drying, and milling. The beans are then roasted to perfection, highlighting the distinctive flavors of Kona coffee.

Koa Coffee Plantation has received numerous awards for its exceptional coffee. It has been recognized by the Specialty Coffee Association of America and has won several Gevalia Cupping Competitions. The plantation's coffee has also been featured in various publications and has received high ratings from coffee connoisseurs around the world.
